I am starting to seriously consider switching my pi-hole from blacklist to whitelist; block everything except few domains. I am convinced now most of the text I read is either ai generated, or people who wrote it have been influenced by AI

yes, I assume we will have the 'replicator' from Star Trek, and programs will just appear as you want them. experiencing the gpt3->4o->sonnet4->opus4.6->fable trajectory I am fairly confident what we call programmer to
